As a King Class warrior, Alfred had no trouble defeating a bunch of hooligans.
In the meantime, Hound was terrified when he saw Zeke approaching ferociously with a dagger in hand.
He shouted, “Y-You can't harm me. Fourth Lord has our back. Hurting me means going against him, and he will not
let you off the hook.”
Hearing that, Zeke changed his mind that instant.
Initially, he had wanted to kill Hound.
But now he no longer felt like doing so, as killing Hound was not enough to alleviate his pain of losing his wife.
To genuinely complete his vengeance, he needed to eradicate the true mastermind behind Lacey's death.
Zeke glared at Hound. “I'll give you ten minutes to get your boss here, or else I'll slaughter everyone in your family.”
Hound agreed at once, “Give me ten minutes, then.”
After taking out his phone with his fumbling fingers, Hound made a call.
“Fourth Lord, come quickly. Someone is trying to kill us! I brought up your name, but it only infuriated our attacker
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfurther. He insisted you are nothing to him at all. I have only been given ten minutes. Please hurry over and save
us!”
Just as Hound finished, Zeke raised his sword and unleashed a sequence of swings.
The next moment, he chopped off Hound's and his subordinates' limbs.
Blood spewed everywhere while chopped-up limbs littered the floor.
“Argh!”
Cries of agony echoed through the entire street.
Gasping in shock, the neighbors were taken aback by the gruesome sight.
This young man is ruthless indeed.
One of them asked carefully, “Mister, are you Lacey's husband?”
Zeke nodded. “I am.”
At the same time, he scrutinized the neighbors curiously, as he wasn't sure what they were up to.
They kindly advised him, “Mister, you should take Lacey and flee. Fourth Lord isn't someone to be trifled with.”
Zeke recognized from their tone that they had good intentions.
Hence, he inquired, “Did you come here to help Lacey?”
The neighbors nodded.
“Thank you,” he uttered sincerely. After that, he brought out his Ammo Needles and treated their wounds for them.
While doing so, he remarked, “Please tell me more about Fourth Lord.”
The neighbors began chattering non-stop.
“He is someone really powerful.”
“He is the head of Atheville Martial Arts Association. Therefore, all the martial artists in Atheville fall under his
jurisdiction.”
“In other words, a single stomp of his foot would send ripples through Atheville.”
Zeke was intrigued. “Oh?”
He had learned that Ares had possessed the Tigon Badges that belonged to the Three Inspectors, Six
Superintendents, and Thirty-Four Templars.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, all the warriors in Eurasia, including Fourth Lord, were under his authority.
Could it be that Fourth Lord was carrying out Ares' orders when he sent Hound to take Lacey's life? That is the
likeliest explanation. In that case, I'll destroy Fourth Lord before slaughtering Ares. There's no way I'm going to
show them mercy for harming my wife and daughter!
In less than ten minutes, the door to the yard was kicked open.
A large group of men barged in and quickly surrounded the place.
However, that wasn't all of them. Outside the yard, more than a hundred martial artists had also gathered around.
At the head of the group was a decent-looking man in a suit.
Without a doubt, he was Fourth Lord.
He couldn't help but gasp in horror when he saw the gruesome condition Hound and his men were in.
What kind of ruthless person is capable of dismembering humans so cruelly?
He swept his gaze around to survey the crowd.
At that moment, everyone trembled in fear of Fourth Lord targeting them.
Finally, his attention fell upon Zeke, as he could feel the murderous aura coming from him.
It looks like only he has the gall and skill to commit such a cruel act.
